This week on The Final Word, Frangela is cutting through the noise with razor-sharp truth and zero tolerance for the madness. Because when the headlines read like dystopian fiction, somebody’s gotta say it out loud.
We begin with the deeply disturbing story out of Mississippi, where two men—one a Black student at Delta State University, the other a white unhoused man—were found hanged on the same day. The silence around these deaths is deafening, and we’re asking the questions the media won’t.
Then we turn to the FCC’s very public tantrum, where Chair Brendan Carr threatened Disney over Jimmy Kimmel’s content—on a podcast. And just like that, Kimmel’s off the air. So now we’re canceling comedians through government intimidation? That’s not regulation, that’s retaliation.
Not to be outdone, Secretary Ice Barbie—aka Kristi Noem—joined “Operation Midway Blitz” and proudly posted video of what turned out to be a wrongful arrest of a U.S. citizen. Because nothing says leadership like violating civil rights for clout.
Meanwhile, former CDC Director Susan Monarez told senators she was fired by Secretary Brain Worm—yes, RFK Jr.—for refusing to rubber-stamp recommendations from his handpicked panel. Science? Facts? Apparently those are optional now.
And finally, Kash Patel showed up to Congress and kept it unclassy, delivering testimony that was less “official” and more “unhinged group chat energy.” We’ve got the receipts and the side-eye.
Frangela’s here to break it all down with brilliance, boldness, and the kind of clarity that cuts through the chaos. Because when the system keeps showing us it’s broken, The Final Word is where truth gets the mic.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
